Association between skin toxicity and efficacy of necitumumab in squamous non-small-cell lung cancer: a pooled analysis of two randomized clinical trials-SQUIRE and JFCM

BACKGROUND

Efficacy of necitumumab [recombinant human monoclonal antibody that blocks the ligand binding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)] in patients with squamous (SQ) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been confirmed in two randomized clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). This study evaluated the association between efficacy and initial skin toxicity with necitumumab treatment by analyzing pooled data from two clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Data of 635 patients with SQ-NSCLC (intent-to-treat population) treated with necitumumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (N + GC) were pooled from two clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). The relationship between skin toxicities developed by the end of the second cycle and efficacy was evaluated. Efficacy endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out for these endpoints.

RESULTS

OS and ORR were associated with skin toxicity, whereas PFS was not. Patients with grade ≥2 or grade 1 skin toxicity had significantly longer OS compared to patients without skin toxicity (grade 0) in the N + GC group [median = 15.0 (grade ≥2); 12.7 (grade 1); 9.4 (grade 0) months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.51 (grade ≥2 to grade 0); 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.40-0.64, P < 0.001 and HR = 0.64 (grade 1 to grade 0); 95% CI 0.52-0.80, P < 0.001]. In multivariate analysis, OS was significantly associated with skin toxicity.

CONCLUSIONS

A significant association was found between necitumumab-induced skin toxicity and efficacy. These results are consistent with the previously reported association between other EGFR inhibitors-induced skin toxicity and efficacy.

Quasi-2D Fermi surface in the anomalous superconductor UTe2

The heavy fermion paramagnet UTe2 exhibits numerous characteristics of spin-triplet superconductivity. Efforts to understand the microscopic details of this exotic superconductivity have been impeded by uncertainty regarding the underlying electronic structure. Here we directly probe the Fermi surface of UTe2 by measuring magnetic quantum oscillations in pristine quality crystals. We find an angular profile of quantum oscillatory frequency and amplitude that is characteristic of a quasi-2D Fermi surface, which we find is well described by two cylindrical Fermi sheets of electron- and hole-type respectively. Additionally, we find that both cylindrical Fermi sheets possess considerable undulation but negligible small-scale corrugation, which may allow for their near-nesting and therefore promote magnetic fluctuations that enhance the triplet pairing mechanism. Importantly, we find no evidence for the presence of any 3D Fermi surface sections. Our results place strong constraints on the possible symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in UTe2.

Longitudinal Spin Fluctuations Driving Field-Reinforced Superconductivity in UTe_{2}

Our measurements of ^{125}Te NMR relaxations reveal an enhancement of electronic spin fluctuations above μ_{0}H^{*}∼15  T, leading to their divergence in the vicinity of the metamagnetic transition at μ_{0}H_{m}≈35  T, below which field-reinforced superconductivity appears when a magnetic field (H) is applied along the crystallographic b axis. The NMR data evidence that these fluctuations are dominantly longitudinal, providing a key to understanding the peculiar superconducting phase diagram in H∥b, where such fluctuations enhance the pairing interactions.

Field Induced Multiple Superconducting Phases in UTe_{2} along Hard Magnetic Axis

The superconducting (SC) phase diagram in uranium ditelluride is explored under magnetic fields (H) along the hard magnetic b axis using a high-quality single crystal with T_{c}=2.1  K. Simultaneous electrical resistivity and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements discern low- and high-field SC (LFSC and HFSC, respectively) phases with contrasting field-angular dependence. Crystal quality increases the upper critical field of the LFSC phase, but the H^{*} of ∼15  T, at which the HFSC phase appears, is always the same through the various crystals. A phase boundary signature is also observed inside the LFSC phase near H^{*}, indicating an intermediate SC phase characterized by small flux pinning forces.

Effect of uranium deficiency on normal and superconducting properties in unconventional superconductor UTe2

Single crystals of the unconventional superconductor UTe₂have been grown in various conditions which result in different superconducting transition temperature as well as normal state properties. Stoichiometry of the samples has been characterized by the single-crystal x-ray crystallography and electron microprobe analyses. Superconducting samples are nearly stoichiometric within an experimental error of about 1%, while non-superconducting sample significantly deviates from the ideal composition. The superconducting UTe₂showed that the large density of states was partially gapped in the normal state, while the non-superconducting sample is characterized by the relatively large electronic specific heat as reported previously.

Dual-Task Training Combining Cognitive Tasks and Occupations among Japanese Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Pilot Study

This study investigated whether dual tasks comprising cognitive tasks and occupations related to daily living can improve the mental and cognitive function of Japanese community-dwelling older adults. Participants included 30 older adults, equally divided into intervention and control groups. The outcome measures were memory, attention, depression, and health-related quality of life. No adverse effects of the intervention were observed in any participant in the intervention group. Logical memory I, logical memory II, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale scores showed a significant interaction. Dual tasks combining cognitive tasks and occupations may help improve delayed recall and alleviate depression. A novel attempt to integrate cognitive stimulation and activities valued by individuals may help mediate age-related cognitive function decline and reduce depressive symptoms in community-dwelling older adults.

First-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab with two cycles of chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone (four cycles) in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: CheckMate 9LA 2-year update

BACKGROUND

To further characterize survival benefit with first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab with two cycles of chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone, we report updated data from the phase III CheckMate 9LA trial with a 2-year minimum follow-up.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Adult patients were treatment naïve, with stage IV/recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer, no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1. Patients were randomized 1 : 1 to nivolumab 360 mg every 3 weeks plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks with two cycles of chemotherapy, or four cycles of chemotherapy. Updated efficacy and safety outcomes are reported, along with progression-free survival (PFS) after next line of treatment (PFS2), treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) by treatment cycle, and efficacy outcomes in patients who discontinued all treatment components in the experimental arm due to TRAEs.

RESULTS

With a median follow-up of 30.7 months, nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy continued to prolong overall survival (OS) versus chemotherapy. Median OS was 15.8 versus 11.0 months [hazard ratio 0.72 (95% confidence interval 0.61-0.86)]; 2-year OS rate was 38% versus 26%. Two-year PFS rate was 20% versus 8%. ORR was 38% versus 25%, respectively; 34% versus 12% of all responses were ongoing at 2 years. Median PFS2 was 13.9 versus 8.7 months. Improved efficacy outcomes in the experimental versus control arm were observed across most subgroups, including by programmed death-ligand 1 and histology. No new safety signals were observed; onset of grade 3/4 TRAEs was mostly observed during the first two treatment cycles in the experimental arm. In patients who discontinued all components of nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy treatment due to TRAEs (n = 61) median OS was 27.5 months; 56% of responders had an ongoing response ≥1 year after discontinuation.

CONCLUSIONS

With a 2-year minimum follow-up, nivolumab plus ipilimumab with two cycles of chemotherapy provided durable efficacy benefits over chemotherapy with a manageable safety profile and remains an efficacious first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumour lacking mutations in the KIT and PDGFRA genes in a cat

Molecular subtyping in gastrointestinal stromal tumours is a useful method for predicting the efficacy of treatment using tyrosine kinase inhibitors in humans. However, owing to the paucity of reports on mutational analyses, the association between genetic mutations and the therapeutic response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains unclear in feline gastrointestinal stromal tumours. In this report, we describe the case of a cat with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour which was unresponsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. A mutational analysis revealed that the cat lacked mutations in both the KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) genes. Our findings are consistent with the fact that KIT/PDGFRA wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumours are less responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in humans. This signifies the need for further evaluation and possibly individualised treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumours in cats on the basis of mutational analyses.

AB0391 LOW SERUM COMPLEMENT C3 LEVEL AS A RISK FACTOR FOR RELAPSE OF ANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODY-ASSOCIATED VASCULITIS: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Background:

The alternative pathway of complement activation has recently been recognized as a key pathogenic event in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Some previous studies have reported that low serum complement C3 level in AAV patients is associated with more severe renal disease, worse renal prognosis, or higher mortality. However, the correlation between low serum C3 level and AAV relapse remains unclear.

Objectives:

To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of AAV patients with low serum C3 levels at the time of diagnosis.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study including 83 consecutive patients diagnosed with AAV in our hospital from January 1999 to December 2020. Serum C3 levels were measured at diagnosis. AAV included microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA); patients with ANCA-negative AAV were excluded. Patients were divided into low- and high-C3 groups (C3 < 100 and ≥ 100 mg/dL, respectively). We compared the clinical characteristics, and relapse-free and overall survival rates, of the two groups, and identified predictors of AAV relapse.

Results:

Of the 83 patients (MPA, n = 61; GPA, n = 18; EGPA, n = 4), 20 (24%) were in the low-C3 group. We found no significant group difference in sex, body mass index, disease type, ANCA subtype, Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS), or treatment. The low-C3 group patients were older (p=0.01), and had a higher Five Factor Score (FFS) (p=0.01) and a lower remission rate (p=0.02), than the high-C3 group. The generalized Wilcoxon test revealed that the relapse-free survival time was significantly shorter in the low-C3 group (29 months; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 15–49) than in the high-C3 group (82 months; 95% CI: 61–NA; p=0.01) (Figure 1A). The overall survival was also shorter in the low-C3 group (83 months; 95% CI: 8-121) than in the high-C3 group (112 months; 95% CI: 77-NA; p=0.03) (Figure 1B). In the Cox proportional hazards model, a low C3 level (< 100 mg/dL) (hazard ratio [HR], 3.01; 95% CI: 1.29–7.04], p=0.01) and GPA (HR, 3.04; 95% CI: 1.32–7.01; p=0.01) were independent predictors of AAV relapse.

Figure 1.

Kaplan-Meier estimates of the relapse-free (A) and overall (B) survival rates of AAV patients by baseline serum C3 levels. Eight patients who did not show remission were excluded in the relapse-free survival analysis. Black line: high-C3 group (≥ 100 mg/dL); red line: low-C3 group (< 100 mg/dL).

Conclusion:

AAV patients with low C3 levels at diagnosis were at higher risk of relapse. Larger prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.

Systematic evaluation of magnetic sensitivities of anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors at liquid helium temperature for superconducting cavities

Trapped magnetic flux in bulk superconductors reduces the quality factor Q in superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities. However, the mechanisms underlying flux trapping and radio-frequency loss are not well understood. Detailed observation of the magnetic distributions is important for understanding such phenomena. Magnetic field mapping is useful for observing the magnetic field distribution around SRF cavities. Measuring the change in the magnetic field around the cavity elucidates the flux trapping behavior. Anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors are inexpensive and small devices that can detect magnetic flux density. The magnetic sensitivities of AMR sensors need to be evaluated at liquid helium temperature for the magnetic field mapping of SRF cavities. In this study, a test stand was constructed to calibrate the magnetic sensitivities of AMR sensors in liquid helium, and 110 AMR sensors were tested using this stand. The magnetic sensitivities were evaluated systematically. A solenoid coil was used to control the uniform external magnetic field and to measure the magnetic sensitivity at low temperatures. All AMR sensors exhibited suitable sensitivities to the magnetic field around the SRF cavity. The variation in these sensitivities in all AMR sensors was ∼1%. The AMR sensors were found to have sufficient sensitivity for mapping the magnetic field around the exterior surface of the SRF cavity.

Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for canine aortic body tumour: 6 cases (2014-2019)

OBJECTIVE

To determine the feasibility of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for canine aortic body tumours.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Medical records of dogs that had undergone three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy with presumptive diagnosis of aortic body tumour were reviewed for clinical characteristics, treatment modality and outcomes.

RESULTS

Eight dogs were diagnosed with aortic body tumour and were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy. One dog had proliferation of a mass in the right atrium during treatment and died of respiratory distress. Another dog did not undergo follow-up CT to evaluate the treatment response due to the increased blood urea nitrogen values. The remaining 6 dogs were included in the case series. Radiotherapy was performed using a median dose per fraction of 7 Gy (3.3-7.14 Gy), a median of seven divided doses (7-15) and a total median dose of 49 Gy (45-50 Gy). The median number of CT scans during the follow-up period was 5 (range: 3-8 times). CT revealed acute side effects in four dogs-grade 1 effects related to the lung (n = 4) and skin (n = 2). Self-limiting or asymptomatic late side effects (grade 1 lung-related effect) were observed in three dogs. After therapy, one dog demonstrated a complete response, another demonstrated a partial response and the disease remained stable in four animals. The median follow-up period was 514.5 (235-1219) days. After three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, the aortic body tumour reduced gradually over time without regrowth in all these 6 dogs.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

In this small case series, aortic body tumours responded to three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy. Transient and self-limiting side effects of the treatments were common. Further controlled studies are required to prove the effectiveness and the safety of this intervention.

A clinical investigation of the association between perioperative oral management and prognostic nutritional index in patients with digestive and urinary cancers

Background

The prognostic nutritional index (pni) is a simple metric calculated using serum albumin and the peripheral lymphocyte count. It was reported that a low pni score is significantly associated with major postoperative complications and poor prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of perioperative oral management (pom) on the perioperative pni profiles of patients with digestive system or urinary cancers.

Study Design

The medical records of 181 patients with cancer who underwent surgery and for whom a pni could be calculated were retrospectively reviewed.

Results

The intervention rate with pom was 34.8%. The median preoperative pni score was 48.25 in all patients with a pom intervention [25% to 75% interquartile range (iqr): 44.38-54.13] and 47.25 in those without an intervention (iqr: 42.0-53.5). Compared with patients not receiving pom, those who received pom had significantly higher pni scores from the early postoperative period (p < 0.05). Notably, of patients who could resume oral intake within 3 days after surgery, those who received pom intervention, compared with those who did not, had significantly higher pni scores from the early postoperative period (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Perioperative oral management interventions might have positive effects on the postoperative pni scores of patients with cancer.

Mapping of a New Deformation Region around ^{62}Ti

We performed the first direct mass measurements of neutron-rich scandium, titanium, and vanadium isotopes around the neutron number 40 at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory using the time-of-flight magnetic-rigidity technique. The atomic mass excesses of ^{58-60}Sc, ^{60-62}Ti, and ^{62-64}V were measured for the first time. The experimental results show that the two-neutron separation energies in the vicinity of ^{62}Ti increase compared to neighboring nuclei. This shows that the masses of Ti isotopes near N=40 are affected by the Jahn-Teller effect. Therefore, a development of Jahn-Teller stabilization appears below the Cr isotopes, and the systematics in Sc, Ti, and V isotopes suggest that ^{62}Ti is located close to the peak of the Jahn-Teller effect.

How Different is the Core of ^{25}F from ^{24}O_{g.s.} ?

The structure of a neutron-rich ^{25}F nucleus is investigated by a quasifree (p,2p) knockout reaction at 270A  MeV in inverse kinematics. The sum of spectroscopic factors of π0d_{5/2} orbital is found to be 1.0±0.3. However, the spectroscopic factor with residual ^{24}O nucleus being in the ground state is found to be only 0.36±0.13, while those in the excited state is 0.65±0.25. The result shows that the ^{24}O core of ^{25}F nucleus significantly differs from a free ^{24}O nucleus, and the core consists of ∼35% ^{24}O_{g.s.}. and ∼65% excited ^{24}O. The result may infer that the addition of the 0d_{5/2} proton considerably changes neutron structure in ^{25}F from that in ^{24}O, which could be a possible mechanism responsible for the oxygen dripline anomaly.

Switching of band inversion and topological surface states by charge density wave

Topologically nontrivial materials host protected edge states associated with the bulk band inversion through the bulk-edge correspondence. Manipulating such edge states is highly desired for developing new functions and devices practically using their dissipation-less nature and spin-momentum locking. Here we introduce a transition-metal dichalcogenide VTe2, that hosts a charge density wave (CDW) coupled with the band inversion involving V3d and Te5p orbitals. Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with first-principles calculations reveal the huge anisotropic modification of the bulk electronic structure by the CDW formation, accompanying the selective disappearance of Dirac-type spin-polarized topological surface states that exist in the normal state. Thorough three dimensional investigation of bulk states indicates that the corresponding band inversion at the Brillouin zone boundary dissolves upon the CDW formation, by transforming into anomalous flat bands. Our finding provides a new insight to the topological manipulation of matters by utilizing CDWs' flexible characters to external stimuli.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of the NARO World Rice Core Collection (WRC) as the Basis for Diversity and Association Studies

Genebanks provide access to diverse materials for crop improvement. To utilize and evaluate them effectively, core collections, such as the World Rice Core Collection (WRC) in the Genebank at the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, have been developed. Because the WRC consists of 69 accessions with a high degree of genetic diversity, it has been used for >300 projects. To allow deeper investigation of existing WRC data and to further promote research using Genebank rice accessions, we performed whole-genome resequencing of these 69 accessions, examining their sequence variation by mapping against the Oryza sativa ssp. japonica Nipponbare genome. We obtained a total of 2,805,329 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 357,639 insertion-deletions. Based on the principal component analysis and population structure analysis of these data, the WRC can be classified into three major groups. We applied TASUKE, a multiple genome browser to visualize the different WRC genome sequences, and classified haplotype groups of genes affecting seed characteristics and heading date. TASUKE thus provides access to WRC genotypes as a tool for reverse genetics. We examined the suitability of the compact WRC population for genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Heading date, affected by a large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), was not associated with known genes, but several seed-related phenotypes were associated with known genes. Thus, for QTLs of strong effect, the compact WRC performed well in GWAS. This information enables us to understand genetic diversity in 37,000 rice accessions maintained in the Genebank and to find genes associated with different phenotypes. The sequence data have been deposited in DNA Data Bank of Japan Sequence Read Archive (DRA) (Supplementary Table S1).

Study of Quasielastic Barrier Distributions as a Step towards the Synthesis of Superheavy Elements with Hot Fusion Reactions

The excitation functions for quasielastic scattering of ^{22}Ne+^{248}Cm, ^{26}Mg+^{248}Cm, and ^{48}Ca+^{238}U are measured using a gas-filled recoil ion separator. The quasielastic barrier distributions are extracted for these systems and are compared with coupled-channel calculations. The results indicate that the barrier distribution is affected dominantly by deformation of the actinide target nuclei, but also by vibrational or rotational excitations of the projectile nuclei, as well as neutron transfer processes before capture. From a comparison between the experimental barrier distributions and the evaporation residue cross sections for Sg (Z=106), Hs (108), Cn (112), and Lv (116), it is suggested that the hot fusion reactions take advantage of a compact collision, where the projectile approaches along the short axis of a prolately deformed nucleus. A new method is proposed to estimate the optimum incident energy to synthesize unknown superheavy nuclei using the barrier distribution.

Large Enhancement of Thermoelectric Efficiency Due to a Pressure-Induced Lifshitz Transition in SnSe

The Lifshitz transition, a change in Fermi surface topology, is likely to greatly influence exotic correlated phenomena in solids, such as high-temperature superconductivity and complex magnetism. However, since the observation of Fermi surfaces is generally difficult in the strongly correlated systems, a direct link between the Lifshitz transition and quantum phenomena has been elusive so far. Here, we report a marked impact of the pressure-induced Lifshitz transition on thermoelectric performance for SnSe, a promising thermoelectric material without a strong electron correlation. By applying pressure up to 1.6 GPa, we have observed a large enhancement of the thermoelectric power factor by more than 100% over a wide temperature range (10-300 K). Furthermore, the high carrier mobility enables the detection of quantum oscillations of resistivity, revealing the emergence of new Fermi pockets at ∼0.86  GPa. The observed thermoelectric properties linked to the multivalley band structure are quantitatively reproduced by first-principles calculations, providing novel insight into designing the SnSe-related materials for potential valleytronic as well as thermoelectric applications.

Abstract P1-12-03: Prevalence, predictive factors, and clinical outcomes of anthracycline induced cardiac dysfunction among patients with breast cancer in Japan, where the normal body weight (BMI &lt; 25) is dominant

Objective: Cardiac dysfunction (CD) is a major clinical problem for survivors of breast cancer. ASCO released a guideline for prevention and monitoring CD in survivors of adult cancer in 2017. Exposure to anthracycline (A) and trastuzumab are both risk factor for CD, as well as obesity is a part of multiple risk factors in the guideline. Meta-analysis shown obesity itself increases risk of A induced CD (A-CD). Prevalence of obesity and CD among non-oncology patients vary in countries, as many Western countries have obesity dominant population. Then little is known about clinical characteristics of A-CD in survivors of adult cancer among normal weight dominant countries, especially in Asia. This study was conducted to understand characteristics of A-CD among patients with breast cancer in Japan.

Method: This study used electrical charts, breast oncology database, and cardiology database to find prevalence, predictive factors, and clinical outcomes of A-CD in Hyogo Cancer Center. The definition of CD is based on diagnosis by the cardiologist. Major Cardiac Events (MACE) is defined as cardiac death or emergency admission due to CD. Obesity is defined as BMI &gt; 30, normal body weight is defined as BMI &lt; 25, and elderly is defined as age &gt; 60 years old, same as in ASCO guideline. Patients gave written informed consent. IRB approved this study.

Result: From Apr. 2006, to Mar. 2017, 855 patients received A for the treatment of breast cancer. Median body weight was 55 Kg, median BMI was 23, and 93.4 % of patients are non-obese. Half of patients (46.9 %) are elderly. Almost a quarter (24 %) of patients received trastuzumab. At the median follow up 60 months, 20 patients (2.3 %) experienced CD, one patient (0.11 %) passed away due to CD, and four patients were admitted as emergency, then five patients (0.58 %) experienced MACE. Median time to onset of CD after the last dose of A is seven months. Among patients with CD, 18 patients (90 %) recovered their ejection fraction (EF), and the median time to recover of EF was two months. Predictive factors for CD include usage of trastuzumab (15 patients), elderly (eight patients), high dose anthracycline (four patients), and multiple cardiac risk factors at base line (four patients). Among patients treated without trastuzumab, only five (0.76 %) patients experienced CD, but four of them experienced MACE.

Conclusion: Prevalence of A-CD in the normal weight dominant population was lower than reported in obesity dominant population, especially in patients treated without trastuzumab. In this population, clinical outcome such as prevalence of MACE may vary depending on the usage of trastuzumab. Further study is warranted to set an optimal strategy for the prevention and monitoring of A-CD in non-obese dominant population.
